The teen accused of the rape of another student at Parkside High School faces fewer charges following a Wicomico County grand jury indictment.

On Monday, Jocori Scarborough, 17, of Delmar was indicted in Wicomico County Circuit Court on counts of second-degree rape, false imprisonment, second-degree assault, reckless endangerment, disturbing school activities and possession of a regulated firearm while under the age of 21.

He no longer faces charges of first-degree rape, first-degree assault or kidnapping.

Wicomico County State’s Attorney Matt Maciarello said his office reviewed the case with detectives and presented the charges for which the state felt there was probable cause.

The charges of first-degree rape, first-degree assault and kidnapping weren’t offered to the grand jury for consideration, he said.

“The state chose not to present those charges based upon our review of the evidence,” Maciarello said.

The rape is alleged to have occurred in a hallway at Parkside High School. The Daily Times does not name victims of sex crimes.

The indictment includes five charges from the rape case on May 5 in a Parkside High School hallway, along with the firearm charge from May 6.

These were previously separate cases in District Court in Salisbury. The state’s disclosure and request for discovery in court records states, “The Defendant’s home and person was searched incident to arrest and contraband was located and seized.”

The original charging document in the gun case states that a loaded revolver was found in Scarborough’s bedroom, along with additional ammunition.

A representative from the Office of the Public Defender said the office declined to comment at this time.

Scarborough continues to be held without bond. Court records state the rape case in District Court will be dismissed Tuesday.
